Thanx Ivo
I can see the reason for complete assembly , reins , sabretache etc but it makes it so difficult to paint , and these guys are difficult enough without making it harder
Perhaps with the more rigged copper it is not so bad as it won't get pushed about with the brush .
Must try this

This is coming along splendid , that is a hard tone of grey to achieve

Ron

That's great,Ivo, thank you. Coming along brilliantly.

Alan

Just stunning, as usual, beautiful. An inspirational lesson in execution and presentation; thank you, Ivo.

Alan

Outstanding final result as always

Please can you let me know where you purchase the photo etch flag from.

I've always admired Metal Modeles figures ... and this is a most excellent rendition. Lovely stuff !

Metal Model kits are the best metal castings of any figure manufacturer in the figure market in my opinion.

Tommi

Stunning, simply stunning. This is a beautiful and lavish uniform and you have done a fantastic job on painting it.
I love this one.
Regards

Marvellous and inspiring. Simply love it.

Ivo, another wonderful mounted 54mm Napoleonic soldier. You make it look easy to create these little masterpieces. Very nice greys, both the horse and the trooper. Do you watch Napoleonic movies while you paint? I can imagine you watching The Duelist.

no, not really... I saw the Duelist a coupe of time in the past. I paint three different figure along the years with the 3rd hussar grey... all different

Beautifully painted, Ivo, very impressive. I love the warm-grey colour of the horse, it compliments the riders uniform nicely.

Beautiful and inspiring Ivo. The colours are very rich and a great combination. Thanks for posting your progress images again.
Cheers
Mat
